TEM Podcast 052: Dis or Dat
Unlike last time, no board games are mentioned this week on the podcast. However, we fill the airtime with plenty of speech upon things such as movies, TV, video games, and tech news.
And since you never know what we're going to talk about, then it's basically like a rogue-like every time, randomly dungerated for your listening pleasure. Thankfully, unlike a rogue-like, you are not destined to perish by podcast's end. Enjoy!

TEM Podcast 051: Through the Perfect Hanabi Ship
There is a whole world of games outside of the video realm. Board and card games have been around much longer than their digital brethren, and friend of the show Jawn knows this well. He visited The Escort Mission recently and brought a bunch of them to try out, and try them out we did.
Before that discussion, however, Chaz speaks on a cool rogue-"lite" game, Mike briefs us on his recent visit to Disneyland and California Adventure, and Josh reports on some Xbox One news he gained from Comic-Con.

TEM Podcast 050: Nice Round Numbers
Whether you perceive or accept it as a round number or not, fifty episodes is a sizable amount of episodes in our book. Thank you to all who have stuck around with us to this momentous occasion.
For your troubles, we give you deep discussion on the mathematical properties of "roundness", obscure forest arrow battles between famous celebrities, a non-discussion about a recent DLC, and all the rest of the things that happened that escape the poster's mind right now. It's a slimmer-than-usual ~90 minute discussion, as well, so get comfortable, turn up the volume, and dive in.

TEM Podcast 049: Put Your Coat On and Have a Seat
Have you ever put on a jacket in an interesting way? What about mounting a chair instead of gamely sitting in it like a normal person? We've wondered about these things, and much more, on this week's episode of The Escort Mission Podcast. Join us as we go unto the fray.

Makes My Commute Go Faster
These guys are smart and super funny. I think you could bottle Josh's laugh and sell it on eBay. I love that they roll to see who gets to be host -- how clever!
Always entertaining
Sharp, witty, funny. Like hanging out with 3 dudes in your living room.
Great Podcast!
Even though I'm not a “core” gamer, I really enjoy this show. The banter is smart and entertaining. The reviews and analysis are detailed and insightful. The first couple of episodes felt a little too inside for me. There was quite a bit of gamer jargon that I didn’t understand. I stuck it out and I’m glad I did. The recent episodes are more accessible while still containing of enough detailed information that the gamer community is sure to appreciate.
